Well, after I thought a bit, I was wondering, what do other people think will become of the pokemon ash have let go, and if they will ever return in a future episode. Decided to see what some people's views are about it...

Butterfree - He/She is probably dead, as Butterfree die when they mate -.- (I really want to see him come back though xD)
Haunter - I wouldn't mind seeing Sabrina return with a Gengar at one point =D
Primeape - I'd wanna see an update on if he became the P1 Champ...
Pidgeot - Wasn't Ash Supposed to circle back for him right after he beat the next gym, that was what? 4 years ago? :/
Lapras - I wanna see more of her >.< Lapras of Luxury wasn't enough o.o
Larvitar - Though he never caught it, I'd still like to see what became of the shyness that was Larvitar.

Granted he's only let go 6 pokemon, anyone else wanna see them return at one point or another? xD

and Squirtle and Charizard.

But he can still call on Charizard whenever he wants.

That's why I didn't include them xD They have been seen multiple times and can be called upon whenever xD

I would like to see Haunter, it was my favorite Pokemon out of what Ash caught, he should have kept it

...Keep in mind that he didn't really "catch" Haunter, either...he just brought it along for the (brief) ride.

I'd actually like to see a lightbulb go off in Ash's brain (or Brock's, for that matter, since he has to go past the forest to go from Pallet to Pewter) and have him go pick up Pidgeot finally...

I know it's off topic, but what about Brock and his Tauros? I'd love to see that happen.

Larvitar was good angst, love to see him again.

Yea, I'm still waiting for them to realize Pidgeot.. I get pissed whenever I see another Butterfree and Ash doesn't mention his >.< Like the episode where a boys first pokemon was his caterpie... ash didnt make any reference -.-

Butterfree don't die after they mate. That was a badly translated line. :/ Lots of people make that mistake though.

I want to see Primape again. Along with Larvitar as well. Just to see how much they have grown.

Well keep in mind that these of the pokemon are in the theme song(buttefre's are in the japanese one)
Pidgeot
Larvitar and it's mother
Butterfree and the pink butterfree(japanese version)

This is Battle Frontier though,Those are the only 1s I saw in there.

I guess you could also include Beedrill in that. The Beedrill that he gave Casey.

They're in the theme song but they dont make a appearance at all.

I wanted to see Butterfree and Pidgeot back, but meh... Ash seems to have some problem using his old Pokemon.

It'd be cool if that Tyrannitar in the opening sequence of Battle Frontier was Ash's Larvitar and there could be a special episode where it returnsand Ash captures it as a Tyrannitar.

That would actually be totally awesome, in my opinion.
I was always fond of 'his' Larvitar.

He also needs to get Charizard back, and maybe keep him on the team.

Is this true? I'm having doubts about this phrase.. was this mentioned in the series before?

Either ways, it'll be cool to have Pidgeot back (since it being my favourite flying types since Pokemon Generation 1 till now).. and it'll also be cool to see Haunter evolve to Gengar when Ash pops by Saffron City.. ^^

Meh.. it will never happen IMO. The animators have prolly long forgotten about those pkmn. Well, maybe not Larvitar.. but Butterfree, Primeape and Pidgeot for sure, so I'm preety sure we'll never get to see them again. :(

Um...you DO know that he uses Bulbasaur against Brandon, right?

I've actually been wondering exactly why that Tyranitar was there...

Actually, that was confirmed (by someone who actually spoke Japanese) to be a translation error.
They only go away to another location, they don't die..

It was someone here that corrected me on that a couple years ago.

Well, they promised a COMMEMORATIVE 10th movie... and we all saw the picture of ash riding on a Pidgeot's back... I'm just hoping. (I'm kind of hoping Butterfree and Pidgeot both show up, and save the day with double whirlwinds =P)

Lol, Ash really fails in raising a good pokemon team. Imagine this.

Tyrannitar
Charizard
Venusaur
Blastoise
Gengar
Pidgeot
(Pikachu as a mascot or sth, since he is a major character)

He could win any pokemon league with those 6 pokes right there. Silly Ash, always letting his pokes go.

He has no problem calling Snorlax back. He uses Snorlax a lot when it comes to big battles.

Yes, only those battles though. Apart from that, Snorlax doesnt feature day to day does it now?

Well it depends what you are saying. I was saying in my original post that he brings Snorlax back. He has never brought back Bayleef, Noctowl, Cyndaquil, etc.
The person which I quoted stated that he has problems bringing them back. I said that he brings Snorlax back, NOT that he uses him a lot.
Hence, he brings him back, but does NOT use him on a day to day basis. :\

*cough, cough* you quoted me. And Ash does have his problems using his old Pokemon. Sure, he brings them back for battles sometimes, but not all of them get a turn and feature for our viewing. And what I had meant in the first post was a more or less continual use, or some form of rotation process as they are usually just at Oak's lab.
